When the Peronista majority did as it was told, the 40 radical deputies in the 188-member Congress staged an unprecedented scene. One Radical took copies of Peron's new constitution, tore them to bits and threw them in the air. Another smashed a cup and saucer, skimmed the pieces at Chamber President Hector Cam-pora.

Painted on the wood were a hammer & sickle and the letters, U.S.S.R. Another "flaming saucer" that spun down from overhead gave Shreveport, La. a good scare, turned out to be a joke by a local prankster who wanted to frighten his boss...
